Beyond Digital Morocco

"I have an extremely difficult time
explaining to my mother what I do with my life, so this video we put
together proved useful as it explained my June 2011 visit to
Morocco. We've upped more videos from Morocco on the Beyond Digital Project YouTube channel."

Sahel Sounds

"I just had Chris Kirkley, the guy who runs
Sahel Sounds,
on my WFMU radio show. So many music blogs just
rehash press release emails, upping the same batch of songs and
buzzwords in a furious circle. It's so dull. In wonderful contrast,
Chris provides a stunning amount of context and ground level
observations from his time in the Sahel and West Africa… alongside
consistently mind blowing music."

Phocéephone

"Damien is all about preserving Maghrebi vinyl,
especially material produced in Marseilles in the 1960s and 70s.
This French language site forms part of that. I love small scale
blogs that focus on shared obsessions. Plus, getting out of the
'English frame' is always nice."

Monoskop

"Monoskop is a “Living archive of writings on
art, culture and media technology.” I try to minimize the amount of
time I spend staring at glowing screens. But PDFs have been the new
MP3s for awhile now – which means, I download them, sometimes, but
I never find time to read them."
